South Koreas Ministry of Culture and Sports emphasized that the Sunrise Flag was allowed to be brought into the Tokyo Olympic venue, which ran counter to the Olympic spirit of pursuing love and peace. The ROK asked the IOC to play an active role and ordered the Tokyo Olympic Committee to take corrective measures to prohibit the appearance of the Sunrise Flag in the stadium.

According to previous reports, South Korea has made clear that it should be banned on the announcement by the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games in 2020 that spectators should be allowed to bring the Sunrise Flag into the arena. Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee responded Wednesday, saying that the flag of the rising sun is widely used in Japan. The flag itself is not political propaganda, and it is not intended to be banned as a carry-on item.

The Sun Flag should not appear in the Olympic Games, Kim Ren-chu, spokesman for the South Korean Foreign Ministry, said at a regular press conference Thursday. On the Japanese side, it should be very clear that the Rising Sun Flag is regarded by the surrounding countries as a symbol of militarism and imperialism in the past, and the Japanese side should face history with modesty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea will continue to cooperate with relevant departments in order to correct the situation.

The Rising Sun Flag, also known as the Japanese Army Flag, is the flag used by the old Japanese army and the present Japanese Self-Defense Force. During the Second World War, Japanese soldiers carried the rising sun flag for burning, killing and looting, thus making the rising sun flag as a symbol of aggression and militarism. Historically, Japan annexed and colonized the Korean Peninsula, so the Korean people especially care about the rising sun flag. South Korea has been dissatisfied with Japans use of the Sunrise Flag on international occasions, and has banned the flag at home.
